Teide National Park is the nature reserve around the Teide Volcano in Tenerife of the Canary Islands. It is by far the best-known hiking area on the island, but there are several more just as deserving of your attention. Different, but just as stunning is the Anaga Rural Park, which you should also check out if planning to do hiking in Tenerife.
This article lists all official hiking trails in the Teide National Park.
Of course, the actual number of possible hiking trails is much higher as you can do only sections of each trail and combine them to suit your plans. There are also plenty of high quality and popular trails that simply have not been designated as “official hikes”.
If you want to do some hiking but do not want to travel to the startpoint of an official trail, you can just open Maps.me, AllTrails or a similar app and check any routes nearby.
